Witricity is nothing but wireless electricity. Transmission of electrical energy from one object to another without the use of wires is called as Witricity.

Because of Witricity some of the devices won't

require batteries to operate.

The story started late one night a few years ago. It was probably the sixth time that month that MIT Professor
. Marin Soljacic was awakened by his mobile phone beeping

battery low.
At that time it occurred to him that there is electricity wired all through his house, office-everywhere. He think about- how it is

possible to use electricity without using wires

The Transfer of Electricity from one place to another without wires is known as Witricity. There is witricity power sources(transmitter) and capture devices(receiver).

Power source provides power to the devices where as capture device captured it to work.
Power source and capture devices are specially designed magnetic resonators. Magnetic resonators efficiently transfer power over large distance via the magnetic near-field.

Near field is a wireless transmission technique over distances comparable to or a few times the diameter of devices.

Near field is usually magnetic field.

Near field energy is non radiative, but some radiative and resistive losses will occur.

Two resonant objects of the same resonant frequency tend to exchange energy. It exchange energy strongly ,while interacting weakly with living beings and other environmental objects. Coupled resonators are said to be operate in strongly coupled regime to avoid material absorption and radiative loss.

Strength of interaction is very high.

Energy transfer is very efficient.

The rate of energy transfer is substantially

higher than rate of energy lose.

The first experiment of witricity, the concept of wireless electricity, was conducted in the year 2006, by researchers from Massachusetts

Institute of Technology. The Assistant Professor of this team of

researchers was Marin Soljacic. 2007: A physics research group, led by Prof. Marin Soljacic,at MIT, wirelessly power a 60W light bulb with 40%

efficiency at a 2 meters (6.6 ft) distance

using two 60 cm-diameter coils

Power source is connected to ac power.

Bulb is connected to capture device.

Blue lines represent the magnetic near field induced by the power source. Yellow lines represent the flow of energy from the source to the capture coil. This powers light the bulb. The magnetic field can wrap around the obstacle between power source and capture coil.

Used in power transformers. conductive coils transmit power to each other wirelessly, over very short distance.
An electric tooth brush uses traditional magnetic induction to recharge its batteries

If Radio frequency energy is used for wireless power transfer. Radiated power is wasted into free space Need line of sight. Harmful.

Microwave oven utilizes radiation to cook foods

Nikola Tesla the most well known scientist had a vision of wireless world. In which wireless electric power and communication would reach around the world, delivering information and power.

implications.

Wireless power transmission can be possible only in few meters. Efficiency is only about 40%.

25

Teams next aim is to get a robotic vacuum or a laptop working, charging devices placed any where in the room and even robots on factory floors.

In another 3 to 5 years time. they will come up with

a witricity for commercial use.
